Distribution of methylsiloxanes in environment is still far from being well studied. Little is
known about the concentrations and associated risks of these chemicals in river-lake …

We investigated the spatial distribution, mass profiles, and benthic risk assessment of a wide
range of methylsiloxanes (MSs), including 7 cyclic MSs (CMSs; D3–D9; the number refers to …

Cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMS) used in personal care products are released to
aquatic environments through wastewater effluent. cVMS are persistent, toxic …

Siloxanes are persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic emerging contaminants introduced to
wastewater from common healthcare and biomedical products, and various industrial …

The occurrence and fate of 5 cyclic (D3 to D7) and 12 linear (L3 to L14) siloxanes were
investigated in raw and treated wastewater (both particulate and dissolved phases) as well …

Studies have shown that some cyclic methyl siloxanes were identified as characterized of
persistent, bioaccumulated, toxic, and potential to ecological harm. In this study, we …

Based on wastewater and raw/digested sludge samples from 29 wastewater treatment
plants in 25 Chinese cities, the nationwide profiles of cis-and trans-isomers of …

In the present study, the occurrence and distribution of methylsiloxanes (D4-D6, L5-L16) in
the surface water and sediment collected from the Daqing oilfield were explored. For …

Trophic transfer of cyclic methyl siloxanes (CMS) in aquatic ecosystems is an important
criterion for assessing its environmental risks. This study researched the trophic transfer of …

Purpose Previous reports have shown that some cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) are
characterized as persistent, toxic, and potentially harmful to ecology. In the present work …
